"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but
will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention
of disease." - - - Thomas Edison

Using special computer effects, cartoon
animation and documentary footage, WELL & STRONG tells the
story of Verna Henderson. After years of unsuccessfully using standard medical
treatments for her hiatal hernia and esophagitis, Verna's doctor recommended
surgery. Frightened and unconvinced that it would cure her, Verna decided instead
to explore other less invasive, alternative approaches, hoping to avoid the
surgery she dreaded.

WELL & STRONG: A True Story

WELL & STRONG shows how Verna worked with an holistic
medical center, learned about and began using various methods to deal with the
root causes of her illnesses. By implementing powerful lifestyle changes that
promote wellness, she was soon able to successfully manage her health problems
without the surgery.

By addressing and dealing with the constant stress in her life that was taking
such a large toll, relearning about nutrition and how to deal with cravings and
food addictions, and implementing a simple exercise program, Verna soon took
conrol and changed the direction of her deteriorating health. Most important, she
learned the true value of prevention and the vital importance of retaining power
over her own health.

"Holistic medicine is natural medicine - preventing and curing
disease with the help of our own natural abilities. Drugs and surgery have their
place, but why use them when there are less paiinful, risky and costly
alternatives. This film shows that you don't need special skills or beliefs to
benefit from holistic medicine - only an open mind. I hope it will be widely
shown and its message acted on."

"WELL & STRONG is a wonderful program . . . I believe it
has a wide application for use by individuals, organizations and community groups
interested in exploring alternatives, and for those interested in approaches not
available in the medical establishment. Its message is both inspirational and
informative, with an interesting visual style that utilizes special effects,
computer graphics and animation, in addition to documentary footage, I enjoyed it
and recommend it highly."
